Lemon Pepper Kale Recipes

LEMON GARLIC SAUTEED KALE

Steps:

• Rinse the kale, and then pull the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems or save to add to homemade stock another day. Coarsely chop kale leaves into randomly shaped pieces, about 2 inches large.
• Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is soft, but before it browns.
• Add the chopped kale leaves, stock, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, tossing the kale around the pan occasionally, until the kale turns bright green, is soft and is wilted, about 7 to 8 minutes. If before the kale is tender, the liquid evaporates, add a little bit more to the pan.
• Taste and adjust with additional salt, and then finish by stirring in the juice from half a lemon.

LEMON PEPPER KALE

Steps:

• 1. Bring about 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan over high heat to a rolling boil.
• 2. Add kale, cover and cook for about 3 - 5 minutes or until kale is tender and bright green, then remove from heat; let stand for about 2 - 3 minutes.
• 3. Drain kale and place in a large bowl. Add lemon pepper seasoning, lemon juice, and olive oil. Toss gently, season with salt to taste and garnish with lemon zest.
• 4. It's all about Himalayan Pink Salt - Health, Therapeutic, and Cooking Himalayan pink salt's natural minerals make it the preferred choice of chefs, spas and health professionals who promote the holistic lifestyle. Adding Himalayan salt to your regular diet can provide essential minerals and support proper absorption of nutrients. It can also normalize blood pressure; eliminate toxins and help balance the body's electrolytes and pH levels. Himalayan pink salt can be used to create a brine bath, which can help strengthen the immune system, detoxify your body and heal skin diseases. Soaking in brine baths after surgery can also assist in quicker healing and recovery. Facial steams help minimize asthma and bronchitis symptoms, as well as ear infections and some respiratory tract infections. Soak a cloth in a brine solution of the Himalayan pink salt and use for open wounds or for joint conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis or gout. Due to its higher mineral content, Himalayan pink salt can be used to replace regular table or sea salt to support a healthy lifestyle. Use it in the kitchen anywhere regular table salt is called for. Multiple grind choices are available, including fine, medium and rock. Finely ground can be used in regular salt shakers, while the larger pieces can be ground in a mill. It provides a richer flavor than table or sea salt and does not contain additional chemicals or additives. Himalayan salt is easier for the body to digest, and its high mineral content provides more nutrients, encouraging better health.

LEMON PEPPER KALE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice each chicken breast into two cutlets. Season the chicken cutlets with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning and paprika in a large bowl. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and toss to combine.
• Add the chicken cutlets to the saucepan and cook on medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the Brussels sprouts and kale to the saucepan. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Top with lemon zest.
• Sprinkle capers all over to taste. Serve with lemon slices.

LEMON-GARLIC KALE SALAD

Steps:

• In a toaster oven or skillet, toast almonds until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add garlic cloves and set aside to steep.
• Working in batches, cut the kale into thin ribbons: gather a large handful of leaves, bunch together tightly, and use the other hand to slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. This need not be done very precisely or neatly; the idea is to end up with a kind of slaw. (Recipe can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep kale and dressing refrigerated separately.)
• Place chopped kale in a very large bowl. Sprinkle surface with almonds and then with cheese, if using. Remove and discard garlic cloves from dressing. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss. Taste for dressing and salt and add more as needed, tossing to coat thoroughly. Serve within 1 hour.
